Of course, here in the real world the effects of an Egyptian Islamic state would not be confined to Egypt... at the very least, it would shut down the Suez Canal, and probably destabilize the entire region (Jordan is also apparently experiencing unrest). The Saudis are probably beginning to shift nervously in their seats, too.
Not too sure I like the idea of the entire Middle East being in the clutches of militant Islamic rulers....
And when they begin to threaten Israel, we have to consider the likelihood that the Israelis will start popping nukes if things start looking really bad.
Shame the hell on us, if we don't have a clear-headed approach to dealing with this situation.
And shame the hell on us for electing an incompetent like Barack Obama to the presidency.
OTOH there is this from 2008
“Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt - In a speech at the opening of the World Economic Forum in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, US President George W Bush preached to the Arab world about the benefits of democracy and universality of freedom.
In the speech, which sounded like an ode to freedom, Bush renewed his calls for more democratization and freedom in the Middle East.”
Maybe Obama should phone him for some advice.
